The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong is pleased to present the Hay in a Needle Stack (2021 Korean Young Artists Series) from April 28 to July 3 at the Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong(Central, PMQ) and also through online(VR). The exhibition showcases works of promising Korean artists LEE Insung, JEON Hyunsun and CHOI Sujin, who create paintings that travel between reality and fantasy, fact and fiction.

Hay in a Needle Stack is the 4th exhibition of the “Korean Young Artists Series” presented by the Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong. The series is aimed to promote and present promising Korean artists to the international art scene.

The exhibition title Hay in a Needle Stack is derived from the Western proverb ‘a needle in a haystack’, equivalent to the saying ‘a needle from the sea’ in Hong Kong. Finding the essence from the canvas that the reality and the fantasy are mixed, is as difficult as ‘finding a piece of hay in a needle stack’, yet still worthwhile.
